### 5/5 — 3D Molecules

*2019-11-10, version 1.4*

Very cool, informational and helpful chemistry app. You can build 3D molecules chemistry models, easy to use with good features.

### 1/5 — Disgraceful trickery

*2016-01-30, version 1.4*

Don't trust the screenshots. You have to PAY for the full version to use atoms such as carbon (come on developer, seriously?), chlorine, potassium, and a host more atoms for molecules commonly taught in schools worldwide, I feel scammed.

### 1/5 — Won't work.

*2016-01-01, version 1.3*

Whenever I open the app it says "Jailbreak detected! App will now close!" and stays at a black screen. I'm not even jailbroken. What is going on?

### 5/5 — Всё просто замечательно

*2015-09-14, version 1.3*

Одно но, соединения слишком большие и это как-то не очень, а так всё норм.

### 5/5 — bien fait

*2015-06-15, version 1.3*

bonne modélisation 2D des molécules et 3D.

### 5/5 — Отлично!

*2015-05-07, version 1.3*

Очень полезное приложение, не только для школьников и студентов, но и просто для любителей молекулярной химии. Очень здорово. Спасибо разработчикам!

### 5/5 — Good app

*2015-03-21, version 1.2*

Great app to use for studying. It's easy to use and the UI is perfect

### 5/5 — Application intelligente

*2015-03-16*

Cette application s'adresse au etudiant ou prof dans le domaine des sciences. Tres bien fait, tout en 3d.

### 5/5 — 👍👍👍

*2015-03-12, version 1.2*

Very useful for study! 3D visual is very well made and also the controls are intuitive and simple! I recommend it!

### 4/5 — Gut

*2015-03-07, version 1.2*

Tolle App zur Darstellung von molekülen und Atomen. Die UI könnte aber mal ein Update vertragen.
